In the same year, he enrolled in Philosophy and Letters at the University of Santo Tomas, while at the same time took courses leading to the degree of surveyor and expert assessor at the Ateneo.
In , he enrolled in medicine at the University of Santo Tomas but had to stop in his studies when he felt that the Filipino students were being discriminated upon by their Dominican tutors. On May 3, , he sailed for Spain where he continued his studies at the Universidad Central de Madrid. On June 21, , at the age of 23, he was conferred the degree of Licentiate in Medicine and on June 19,, at the age of 24, he finished his course in Philosophy and Letters with a grade of "excellent. A versatile genius, he was an architect, artists, businessman, cartoonist, educator, economist, ethnologist, scientific farmer, historian, inventor, journalist, linguist, musician, mythologist, nationalist, naturalist, novelist, opthalmic surgeon, poet, propagandist, psychologist, scientist, sculptor, sociologist, and theologian.
He was an expert swordsman and a good shot. Because of his fearless exposures of the injustices committed by the civil and clerical officials, Rizal provoked the animosity of those in power.
This led himself, his relatives and countrymen into trouble with the Spanish officials of the country. As a consequence, he and those who had contacts with him, were shadowed; the authorities were not only finding faults but even fabricating charges to pin him down. Thus, he was imprisoned in Fort Santiago from July 6, to July 15, on a charge that anti-friar pamphlets were found in the luggage of his sister Lucia who arrive with him from Hong Kong. While a political exile in Dapitan, he engaged in agriculture, fishing and business; he maintained and operated a hospital; he conducted classes- taught his pupils the English and Spanish languages, the arts.
The sciences, vocational courses including agriculture, surveying, sculpturing, and painting, as well as the art of self defense; he did some researches and collected specimens; he entered into correspondence with renowned men of letters and sciences abroad; and with the help of his pupils, he constructed water dam and a relief map of Mindanao - both considered remarkable engineering feats. His sincerity and friendliness won for him the trust and confidence of even those assigned to guard him; his good manners and warm personality were found irresistible by women of all races with whom he had personal contacts; his intelligence and humility gained for him the respect and admiration of prominent men of other nations; while his undaunted courage and determination to uplift the welfare of his people were feared by his enemies.
When the Philippine Revolution started on August 26, , his enemies lost no time in pressing him down. They were able to enlist witnesses that linked him with the revolt and these were never allowed to be confronted by him. Thus, from November 3, , to the date of his execution, he was again committed to Fort Santiago.
After a mock trial, he was convicted of rebellion, sedition and of forming illegal association. In the cold morning of December 30, , Rizal, a man whose 35 years of life had been packed with varied activities which proved that the Filipino has capacity to equal if not excel even those who treat him as a slave, was shot at Bagumbayan Field.
Jose Rizal or Andres Bonifacio? Why is Jose Rizal the national hero? The Americans recommended Rizal because of the fact that he was executed by the Spaniards and of his peaceful way to achieve liberty.
Unlike Andres Bonifacio whose desire to achieve independence for his native land required armed approach. The Americans deemed this approach to independence of Andres Bonifacio to be unacceptable and may inspire other Filipinos to rebel against American rule.
This is why Jose Rizal was chosen over him as the national hero. Jose Rizal was declared as the greatest Filipino hero during the American colonization after the Aguinaldo led armed forces were subdued during the Philippine-American war.
December 30 as national day of mourning General Emilio Aguinaldo was the first one to declare December 30 as a national day of mourning in honor of Rizal and others who have died fighting the Spanish tyranny.
Pen as mightier than the sword The Philippine revolution led by Andres Bonifacio was fueled by the writings of Jose Rizal, the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, which made a more lasting impression. This is one of the best arguments of those who believe that Rizal is rightfully the national hero. Rizal was truly an inspiration to many Filipinos during the Spanish period. We should take good care of his writings and many more because this is the only treasure that rizal made us, so that we could able to know whats the differences of the present now and yesterday.
Rizal is a good leader to us, a person that full of dreams,and a man has nothing to fear even death. So that Rizal is a inspiration to us in every struggles would come in our way. There must be a solution on it. So they all failed. But history is usually kind to its victims. This was the Rizal that was the subject of veneration by the Katipunan and the popular imagination of the masses, and one that continues in some of our millennarian movements.
That was how that martyrdom was used by the revolutionaries, as Rizal was already a personality known for his well-rounded genius, his open defiance to the clerico-fascist friars through his novels and other writings. The Katipuneros whom Rizal had condemned began spreading the word that Rizal was actually their adviser and his dramatic death geometrically multiplied the ranks of the Katipunan that even his beloved Josephine Backen and his brother and sisters later joined it.
He was the unifying personality for all forces that had grievances against Spain. Every individual, especially nowadays, undoubtedly has a lazy side. In the case of students, this laziness lies in the experience of pressure, particularly in subjects or courses. After all, as the article implies, who would want to study about the life of a dead person when it is not really relevant to our chosen fields of discipline, especially in the working stage after graduation?
Despite of the above-mentioned concept, it is still appropriate that the Rizal law should be implemented. In my stand, it is agreeable that it would not only be able to influence the students. It would likewise help to develop their critical thinking, especially in being aware of the Philippine situation, whether before or now.
As what the article says, it could help in the betterment of the society when the students are aware and active. Of course, this is through the educational implications of the subject and the teaching principles utilized by the teacher.
The whole character, embodied in the person of Rizal, which includes his principles, virtues, ideals, values and strengths, would help serve as a role model to Philippine people, and more importantly, to the young ones who are full of aspirations and dreams.
To sum up, Rizal law should be implemented. Despite of its being a minor subject, it is equally important to other subjects because of its special educational implications that would help bring about the awareness and activeness of Filipinos, particularly the youth.
The image of Rizal could serve as a role model. His undying courage, passion, and love for the country, though in the midst of danger, should be inculcated in the minds and hearts of every Filipino. It is very important because you can learn the culture. In that also you can developed your critical thinking,and Rizal experiences is can teach us more brave to face the discrimination of the other culture and other country because as i learn that in times of Rizal all filipinos are called by the spaniards as indios,bastos,ignorante and other discriminating words because of Rizal he proved that filipnos are not like that we filipinos are brave and have an initiative or intelligent.
More importantly of learning the Rizal course is the value of being religious,a loving and obedient son or daughter to his parents and to your siblings. In my opinion i am agree in that law it is because it can improve my knownedge and to give inspiration in every road i take.
All i can say is life is nothing with out inspiration and determination like Rizal did in sacrificing his life to fight his country. By:Anjeleah D. Fabela BSN-3B. This article was so interesting and I hope that everyone would be able to see this if ever possible. The article of Rizal will really awaken the life of the people or the Filipino people in serving our country well and to enlighten their mind.
People now especially those who are exposed to the politics are very much corrupt and serving their family but not for the country. Many people now are going abroad for their family; they suffer a lot, work very hard just to feed their love ones. It is because of our government. They are carving for the money; they have a good life while other people are suffered. Rizal was a very good example or a model for the Filipino and even he is not already exist here in our world, he will be always in the heart of the Filipinos and using it as our guide or path through the right way just like what he did for our country.
For us to know how he fight for our country and give us idea how to be a good teenager. As we we all know that Rizal our national hero because of his good doing that we, Filipino students must follow. It is the subject that helps us to be a dood laeder to our country as what Jose Rizal did. As a national hero, we need to study his life for us to hae courage in life and do good thinhs jst like what our national hero.
The study of Rizal is not just focus his life but also the history of the Philippines, the era of Rizal. And how they live their life under the spanish rules. It is interesting yet, they considered it additional burden to thier studies. As a student I gave importance to my subject Rizal. Some student says that the subject Rizal cant help them if they apply a job and according to them it is very useless to have a subject Rizal. Thats what they are thinking of. But for me my subject Rizal gave me more knowledge because I know now the life stories long time ago,why we are in the hands of spaniards,etc..
We need to have the subject Rizal because Rizal is our National Hero its our responsibilities to know his life story why he became our national hero. I am very thankful to have that kind of subject. Indeed many people say that Rizal subject is no longer relevant in any course to study it.
Actually, I am also one of the people who oppose to study Rizal having the same reasons I suppose. Studying his life is not that entertaining but looking unto his character and works, we can see a strong willed person who fights for what he believes. What I mean is that, Rizal had his virtues, values, morals and etc. We too also must follow his example as a Filipino or as a national hero to uplift our Filipino blood to the world.
I might offend people because of this essay and I m sorry for that. But believe me I give two thumbs up for what Rizal has done for our country. This is importance because thi is one of the hero that save our nation because. Rizal knows all the filipino peole what he do and our country and rizal is one of a example of the true Filipino person because he is one of a genuse and fight for our country to achive our independents and Kastila.
And he is a brave man. It is honorable for us students to know about the life of rizal for because of what he contributed in our country is a success for us. If we dont know who he is and what achievements he made for the country. And also we could learn values that we could apply to ourselves. For because the values that rizal wants owned could be develop into ourselves. For because the Rizal subject is not only a subject that rely only to works of Rizal but also the values that he had that help him a better person.
For because we are not only studying the works of rizal but also the values that we could apply to ourselves in a day to day existence.
The issue about the Relevance of Rizal course is good for those who dont like the subject. They can know how important the Rizal subject is. The issue can also inspire the people who are taking the Rizal subject and also those who hate the Rizal subject.
For me the issue gives me the reasons that I should take the Rizal subject seriously because I thought that Rizal cant help me to my course but now i realized how important the life of Rizal is i can have my inspiration to the life of Rizal how a loving and obedient he is, a responsible student he is,a strong willed individual who stands for his convictions,and the one who loves and serves the country.
Now i realize………. Rizal should not be taken for granted and should be accepted and honored as part of our college curriculum. For it is our duty as his countrymen to know his sacrifices and struggles in changing the course of our history against the spanish colonizers.
He is not just an ordinary person, but he is a one-of-a-kind and unique individual possessing a great character of being a nationalistic and a patriot. In which only a few people could possess. I do believe that we could gain a lot of things in his principles, writings and thoughts about life. He is a true martyr and a person worth of knowing for and being imitated. I could say that we should live our life through his great examples and apply it unto our doings and actions.
But that was my first impression. Because when you study this subject you will notice that his life is interesting in such a fact that you can apply his ideas, his philosophy in life, and his values in daily situation.
The Spaniards colonized our country for years. No one dare to stood up and fight for their rights except Dr. Jose Rizal. Because of him, Filipinos learn to have the courage to fight for their freedom and to fight their love for their country. Like our present government which is not so much different from the Spaniard ruling. Some Filipinos were being oppressed and the corruption were being seen clearly nowadays.
Rizal as our hero were being idolized and use as their inspiration because he shows an example of being nationalist and patriotic in the Filipino youth and men. Rizal is not just like a minor subject or a subject that should we pass on it. Rizal thought us many things specially on fighting for our rights and showing justice to our fellow filipinos.
The Subject Rizal is a subject which is we can obtain a courageous model which fight his life till the end, Rizals death leads us to an independent nation or country which teach us student to care and preserve the in dependency of the nation.
We study Rizal because asside from it is a prerequisite, it is an embodiment of us to honor the hero who died for us so that we can be saved from the colonizers who keep changing our economic activities. The Relevance of Rizal subject. So which is it then? For me, since Republic Act otherwise known as Rizal law made it clear that Rizal subject is a compulsory to all students who are enrolled in different colleges and universities, then we should comply with this law.
To start, i was so confused before why Rizal is in need to study? Eventhough, it is not that related in our course that we are taking up. What for Rizal subject is? How does it help us? We can learn lessons and advices as well. We will keep in our minds that Rizal subject is part of our lives forever. Because of his being an intellectual,spiritual,loving person and so on and so forth. We are lucky to have him as our hero.
Because he does have the characteristics of being one. So we can be like him in a unique way yet fundamentally equal. Ang gumawa sa law of Rizal ay sadyang napakahanga, masasabi kong dapat lang na pag-aralan ng mga estudyante ang buhay ni Rizal dahil ang buhay ni Rizal ay puno ng inspirasyon gusto lang naman ng mga tao na ipahiwatig o ibigay ang mga ginawa sa buhay ni Rizal.
Rizal for me is a great help especially in facing problems that sometimes seems to be threats in reaching my dreams. He left a big influence in our country that we must have the courage and self determination to fight for our own right in a good and peace way. For me it is erelevant to study rizals life even thou he is dead surely it can healp us in our dayly life.
Some student dont like the subject because they have no enterest on the subject. This are some reson that they dont like the subject. For me, as a student, it is really significant to all the college students and to all the Filipino citizen to know his relevance of it.
I do believe that he did everything to make our country more progressive for the sake of all the Filipino. It is very significant to all of us to understand the things that he had done for us.
I do believe that being a good student, responsible and being prayerful are the things that we might gain from learning his ideas and beliefs.
I must promulgate things to ourself that will surely developed our characteristics to implement a best decision for ourselves. It help us to improve our learnings. We must work and have faith to our almighty God to make thngs to be successful.
The thoughts of Rizal left might be very influential talaga as a Filipino and we can use it in our everyday life. I agree that Rizal subject has relevance to the life of the students even the person being studied was already dead..
Firstly, not just only for the benefit of the teachers but mostly to the students. Because in this course,being patriotic and nationalistic reflects through the works of Rizal,our national hero.
So,I just want to convince not to take for granted the subject Rizal and take it seriously because it is for our own good. This issue came every time Rizal is taken as part of the curiculum. Yet, it is true that it is quite confusing why it became part of requirement to be taken up in college… what is the connection of it in our course???
I ws able to think of many times, for taking Rizal subject in which carrying 3 units seems so expensive and it add to the problem in school. But I have no choice but to admit the fact that it is part of the big reality. I am a filipino, and Rizal is the Philippine National Hero… It is implemented by the government to have the Rizal Life and Works to be part in the colloge curiculum, for it influences all our mind sets nd acts toward thing…as a part of the nation and as a filipino!
I do agree with the Law that the congress implement for. He continue publishing a book to let filipinos realize that we should fight for our country.. Rizal contributed a lot for us filipino, and he deserves to be recognize!! I was indeed, one of the typical college student who wonders why do we have to include Rizal in our subjects. It would not help me in my work interviews nor in passing the CPA board exam. Reading the article, made me realize I need not to focus fully on my future career.
I live a huge society where social, political and economical abuse are rampant ;thus, I should also study on how to solve these problems on my own little way. And studying the life of Rizal would definitely serve as an instrument for me to have an idea on what an ideal Filipino is-like Rizal who protects his country and people- and eventually help in making our country a home for Filipinos embodied with values of a true Filipino, love for country and people.
I should be knowledgeable especially on the past events that triggered our current situation and learn how Rizal contributed in the freedom that we enjoy today. Our steps maybe small but it would definitely be of big help. Let us appreciate the subject, after all, the law would not obliged us to take it if it is not significant at all. Besides, it is for us and for our country as well. It would be helpful for us students to know more about Jose Rizal as our National hero.
He made a lot of sacrifices and so on.. But sometimes honestly i get bored every time we will be having our class about Rizal. We are thought since elementary and high school about our national hero, who he is.. Why until in college days? Maybe because they want us not to forget what Rizal did to our country.
How intelligent Rizal is ,How he respect his parents and his brother and sisters. His a good example to us students,for us to strive hard and how to be a good individual. They are right, that Rizal cannot help us in finding a job in the future but we should study this couse, Rizal to be specific because it gives us an inspiration to study well and to be like him. Rizal did a great work through his writings for us filipinos to be free from spaniards and for us to be liberalized and feel the beauty of life.
His great knowledge, ideas, experiences, thoughts and etc. Rizal as part of the history in our country, we must acknowledge his presence in school by learning about his life experiences which have a big impact towards Filipino people.
Still the relevance of Rizal until now exists. We now live in a modern world by electronic gadgets, high technology, scientific and genetic breakthroughs.
The Philippines, in spite of its status as an industrializing country, also manages to get by with the current trend of development and industrialization. It is a fact that education plays a vital role in the growth of a country, for an educated and functional population maneuvers the fate of its country and its fate as a people.
At present, many students, particularly those taking up technical, engineering and nursing courses, ask about the relevance of Rizal Course to their courses and planned career paths. Some of them wonder if the subject will just be a mere repetition of what they had during their high-school days, while some insist that the subject, whatever its code, may be just a waste of time and money. Thus, most students tend to be antagonistic not only to the subject but to the teacher and, worst, to Jose Rizal himself.
It directs educational agencies such as the Department of Education and the Commission of Higher Education to include in the curricular of all schools, colleges and universities, public or private, the study of the life of our national hero, with emphasis on the original or unexpurgated versions of the Noli and El Fili. It obliges all the libraries of all schools, colleges and universities to maintain an adequate number of copies of Noli and El Fili in their collections as well as other materials related to the life of Rizal.
The antagonistic attitude of students toward the Rizal Course can be generally traced to our historical unawareness and indifference. Teachers can direct their students to read the novels of Rizal and allow them to analyze if the plots of the novels still apply to our present situation. Provocative questions must be asked among learners in order to allow them to think critically.
Having Rizal subject in the college curriculum is such a burden, it consumes time to be studied with, it requires enough focus but through this we can be able to know about the life of great person, wherein we can look into, can be use as our role model an can also be our great guide in living our daily life. In knowing also the life of our national hero we could also see the great nationalistic trait of a Filipino citizen wherein we could also be… Thats why iI gave credit to those person that continued to encourage people to study Jose Rizal.
Being a student,who aim to graduate with no hindrances i should took up the course with open heart,because that is neccesary to finished my tertiary level of education. Infact, i cannot use this as a reference especially in my major field.
For me knowing the life of Dr. Jose Rizal is useless. During the time that our country was under the colonialization of Spanish government,our fellow countrymen experienced tragic and hardships from Spanish govrnment.
And among all the other heroes not one of them made a ways as what Dr. Jose Rizal did. His writings,his works enligthtened the mind of other Filpino Heroes to fight for our Independence.
Hence if there no Rizal during that time maybe we are still in a Spanis regime until now. And by this he proved to us that a pen is truly migthier than a sword. Try to take a look in our economic,education and government today,in just a glance what we notice? Truly we cannot deny the fact that it was really devastating.
Economic was not growing,education was not in a quality one,nor it was not uplifting and the most frusrating one is our government that oficials did not do anything for the development of our country instead what they take busy is on how to corrupt our own country. But who will be blame for all of this?
Having this kind of government and knowing this kind of event in our country,we people of the Phillipines should open our eyes and get involve to what was is happening today. Taking the Rizal course gave us knowledge on how to live practical but with concern to our own country. In my self this course gave me an understanding that even who we are we can do something better in our country. Not exactly as what our national hero did for our country but even in a little way we can help.
By this as a future teacher i can inculcate to the mind of my students that who we are we can do for a change. Rizal subject is not a burden or boring for me because we need to know what have had happened in the past and the reasons why rizal was considered as our national hero. We need to consider and apply his principles in life that would somehow give us encouragement as we vanquish our future towards politics and governance, socio-cultural, economics and even religious aspect.
Well, most students think that this subject is boring because they just take for granted what had had rizal did in our country. Maybe as a new generation, they cannot relate what are the good things that he made which liberated our country from our oppressors for a long time of sufferings. How i wish that the next generations will pay such an appreciation and treasure the contributions and influences of Rizal whom worth dying for. Taking this subject is our way of saying thank you to him.
The Rizal subject is truly a relevant course for us students.
